NTA Cancels UGC‑NET Papers, Orders September Retest
· India · Indian Express, Times of India
The National Testing Agency announced that the UGC‑NET examinations for English, Commerce, and Sociology will be cancelled due to typographical errors and repeated questions, and a retest is scheduled for September 2026. Candidates highlighted errors such as misspelt names of sociologist Govind Sadashiv Ghurye and philosopher Martha Nussbaum in the June papers. The decision has cost aspirants roughly two months of preparation time, jeopardising planning for PhD admissions that open in the coming months and limiting job‑seeking windows for assistant professor positions. Several applicants from Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, and other states said the revise will disrupt their career trajectories and reduce their academic options.
Why it matters
UPs and potential PhD candidates lose valuable time and may miss openings for academic roles, directly affecting their career prospects.
